Recent DMSP and ISIS dayside auroral observations show two striking features: occasional fan shaped arcs radiating away from noon on both the morning and afternoon sides of the auroral oval. We present a simple model which includes these two features as a consequence of the dayside convection pattern of Heelis et al. (1976). The model may be testable in the near future with simultaneous convection, current and auroral light data.
